Meet Phoebe, a very special dog with a unique story. She was found last week by a German student near a night food market in Hongkou District. Phoebe was very skinny, her gums where white due to poor nutrition, has a broken hip, and had worms and fleas. At that time she was not able to walk even a few meters. Once the student brought her to the vet hospital it was discovered that Phoebe was also pregnant with five puppies. Sadly, due to her poor nutrition, she had surgery to remove the puppies (as they would not be able to survive after birth). We have been able to get donations for 6,600 RMB to cover the medical bills for her.

Now, one week after her surgery, Phoebe is feeling better. She can walk without problems, but she might need a hip surgery which would fix that old injury. We would be able to pay for the surgery, if she needs it, in 1-2 months time.

Right now we are looking URGENTLY for a foster family or a forever loving home for Phoebe. Phoebe is a loving and quiet dog that enjoys being stroked and hugged. The worms and fleas are gone, and she has received her first vaccination already. We think she had a previous owner as she knows how to behave on a leash. She is around two years old, and has been treated so she cannot longer have babies. She is still at the vet hospital since still we have nobody who could foster her.

Phoebe is an amazing dog who would appreciate every little thing you do for her. She went through a lot and knows how hard the stray life can be. She is absolutely a dream dog for any family who would love her as much as she deserves to be loved.
